(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Two women and four men spent eight months in Mars-like isolation so that NASA could learn more about the effect that sort of mission will have on people. These six people are:
Laura Lark - originally from a small farm, she went to Brown University, then did 5 years as a software engineer for Google, plays Irish fiddle tunes
Ansley Barnard - she has designed aerodynamic bodywork for Indy 500 cars, and worked in engineering optimization at Ford Motor Co.; she hopes to become an astronaut
Samuel Payler - pursuing a doctorate in astrobiology, works on instruments to use on Mars basalt rock
James Bevington - a researcher in space life and statistics, now working for International Space University
Joshua Erhrlich - a systems engineer for Lockheed Martin, he worked on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launch vehicle
Brian Ramos - graduated from International Space University, has both biomedical and engineering degrees
Each is highly accomplished, each one has a website, and there's a good chance that each one is personable and easy to be with. After eight intense/weird months, everybody came out alive.
